BERLIN — Authorities say a portion of Frankfurt Airport’s Terminal 1 has been evacuated after a person entered a secure area without undergoing required searches.

Frankfurt Airport’s Twitter account says: “today at Frankfurt Airport a passenger entered the security area before the security check had been completed” and “due to current ****** action at FRA, passengers are advised to allow extra time to reach the airport.”
